I'm in lousy shape, just south of 60, thin build with girlie hands and wrists.

With the mild 800-900 fps 240 grain LSWC loads the 4" 629 is a pussycat, it just purr's, I could enjoyably shoot it all day and by reloading I can afford to.

I just tried some 280's at a clocked 1179 fps the other day, and they where not bad at all. Honestly I think a 442 loaded with 135 grain Gold Dot +P is worse.

And so isn't a Glock G27 in 40 caliber with warm loads.

Just me and my personal opinion, but I would agree that the 4" 629, is a do it all gun. Carries concealed in a Simply Rugged Pancake very nicely on a 1 1/2" Gunbelt.
